I will repeat this every single day for the next three years: Any Democrat running for president in 2028 must pledge to immediately tear down/bulldoze/demolish Trump’s ballroom and fully restore the East Wing and any other piece of the People’s House Trump has or will destroy.

A year of hell for immigrants In the first Trump administration, cruelty was the point. Now, it is the norm.

Every disturbing news report about a wrongful deportation or military-style raid of an apartment building should come as a reminder that the US government is using its prosecutorial discretion—it is choosing to normalize casual cruelty and overt racism.

One more no true bill, and James gets a trophy from FIFA.

This is not the way a market economy works. It is the way a system of state or kleptocratic capitalism works.

Here are all 25 red-to-blue flips this year, as well as the corresponding list. docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

No one is going to want to come here

In a stealth upset, Democrat Eric Gisler flips a GOP-held Georgia House seat spanning parts of Athens and Oconee County. Gisler won 39% of vote last November. He captured 51% tonight to defeat a Republican backed by Gov. Brian Kemp and other GOP leaders.

Not only is ICE snatching hard working people who are trying to earn a living, they’re taking their money too?

A witness recorded ICE agents taking a cash box from a taco stand in La Puente during an operation where four people were arrested.

Tacoma detainee set to be deported after losing toe in ICE care Greggy Sorio was set to be deported Sunday night, but advocates alerted the airline about his medical condition and he was pulled off the plane at Sea-Tac.

Video shows masked Border Patrol agent chasing woman back to her Louisiana home Jacelynn Guzman said she is a U.S.-born citizen. The Department of Homeland Security said Friday that it "determined the individual in question was not the target."

"She said she repeatedly told the agents she’s a U.S. citizen.

“I just kept repeating it — I’m a U.S.-born citizen. I was born and raised here. This is my home. My baby’s waiting for me...”

She screamed “Leave me alone...”

"The woman, a U.S. citizen who was born in Edina Minnesota, was zip-tied when she was detained near Nicollet Mall..."

We're past the point where this admin deserves any assumption of truthfulness. At this point, we should assume they're lying until proven otherwise.

Trump rages that Henry Cuellar didn’t pay him back for a pardon by switching parties, blasting Cuellar for a “lack of LOYALTY.”

In other words, Trump admits he was trying to use his pardon power to buy Republicans a House seat.

The Trump regime's assault on immigrants does not really target "the worst of the worst." Its aim: to make America whiter.
The crackdown on colleges does not really target antisemitism. Its aim: to crush dissent.
The murders of boat crews is not really about drugs. Its aim: to grab Venezuela's oil.

What we are watching - as U.S. citizens are dragged out of cars and illegal war is waged in the Caribbean - is the corruption of the most sacred power we give the President - the power of violence.

We are no longer a democracy if the regime can use violence without restraint.

Once, in recent years, I had occasion to sit *immediately* behind John Roberts, like 18 inches directly behind him, at a ceremony. When it was over he was instantly whisked away, before I could ask, or say: WTF???

John Roberts has been a GOP operative, in "institutionalist" clothing, through all of his career.

Chapter and verse, here: www.harvardmagazine.com/legal/suprem...

He was on GWBush team during the 2000 Florida recount battles.

Think: Mike Johnson, with Harvard vs LSU pedigree.

“What have I done!” 🤡

Biden shows a bit of cognitive decline:

@jaketapper.bsky.social writes a whole ass book.

Trump falls asleep at his own cabinet meetings and daily acts like the most demented psychopath on Earth:

@jaketapper.bsky.social says "that's just Trump being Trump."

That's why Jake Tapper is a damn clown.

Trump sleeping in another Cabinet meeting today.

GEORGIA: Rodney Taylor, a double amputee barber here his whole life was 2 days away from getting new legs when Trump’s ICE goons grabbed him. He has been held almost a year, facing deportation to Liberia.

What are we doing?

Good front-paging.

"If the U.S. military operation is not an armed conflict of any kind, these orders to kill helpless civilians clinging to the wreckage of a vessel our military destroyed would subject everyone from SECDEF down to the individual who pulled the trigger to prosecution under U.S. law for murder."

It. Is. Murder.

"Indiana lawmakers have reported other apparent attempts at intimidation, including at least one bomb threat, as well as subtler forms of harassment. Not all of them have been made public."

Hegseth order on first Caribbean boat strike, officials say: Kill them all Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a verbal order to kill all crew members in the Sept. 2 strike on a suspected drug boat. Navy SEALs fired a second missile.

Textbook war crime/extrajudicial killing

"Two survivors were clinging to the smoldering wreck. The Special Operations commander overseeing the Sept. 2 attack ... ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions."

Trump wants a bigger White House ballroom. His architect disagrees. The president and James McCrery had argued in recent weeks over the project’s size, with Trump pushing him to expand the ballroom.

Even the architect Trump hired to build his massive addition to the White House objects to the president's vision. The two have argued about the size of the 90,000-sq-foot project that would dwarf the mansion. @jonathanreports.bsky.social @ddiamond.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

When a politician says: we’ll deregulate health insurance and send you a “freedom account” check, ask: freedom to buy what? If insurers don’t offer real policies or can cherry-pick only healthy people, that money is a coupon for a store that’s not open.

Trump fighting with his architect about wanting to build a ballroom bigger than the actual White House feels very on brand
